CONCEPT OF A DESIGN OF A POWER PLANT PRODUCTION USING SEA WAVES

thingiverse

This project involves harnessing ocean wave energy to generate electricity using a water wheel propelled by sea water. The design includes a floating base supported by four pillars rooted in the seabed that moves with the motion of waves. A five-foot long, two-foot diameter propeller connected to two generators is driven by water channeled through an 80 cm high, 45-degree funnel-shaped opening. A protective grid is installed to prevent debris or fish from interfering with the propeller's rotation. The generator must be capable of working in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. At night, a lighting mast sits atop the pillars for visibility and identification purposes. While calculations have not been performed by the author, they suggest that technicians analyze the project's feasibility for electricity production. A 3D printable prototype is also proposed.
